Handsome Dick Manitoba Midwest Tour Update Day 2 Milwaukee

From San Francisco, California, this is the Rock n' Roll Geek Show.

This is the story of my Rock n' Roll Butler, ehm!

Welcome to the Rock n' Roll Geek Show.

My name is Michael Butler.

Thanks a lot for joining me.

I really appreciate it.

Today is Thursday, March 26th, 2026, 2026.

And it is 441 PM.

I mean, Milwaukee, Wisconsin at a place called Anadine Coffee,

which is day two of the Hanson Dick Manitoba Midwest Manifest tour.

We're out with the strains.

And tonight, there's an opening band called Electrophonic.

And we just loaded in.

We're getting ready to sound check.

As you can tell, through a lot in front of a quiet place to go.

You can see if I can get into the All of Jinger bathrooms.

That's not any better.

Okay, let me see if I can find it.

So, we had about enough.

What a positive.

Oh, that's much better.

I'm outside in the wind.

Okay, great.

It's a little bit rainy here in Milwaukee.

We just rolled in.

Rolled in.

We just rolled in, man.

We just rolled in from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Last night's show was fun.

No real mishaps.

It was a how you say it.

Small but enthusiastic crowd.

Well, the Wednesday night.

What do you expect from Wednesday night?

Tonight's Thursday.

Will it be much better?

I don't know.

But we played well.

Hanson Dick Manitoba was in his usual form.

He was, he's back to, back to, you know, being himself.

He remembers the words and we had a good time and he was smiling and we had, we all had fun.

Everybody lived to make it to the next town.

Hoping we're going to see some friends of the show tonight.

Joe Pollack's coming with his beautiful girlfriend.

Gina, I think it's her name.

I'm pretty sure.

Get okay and merch.

Thanks to, thanks to the world's greatest merch goal, Brigitte.

Should I say merch person, Brigitte?

Strings have been cool.

Let us use their gear.

Everything's been going great.

So far, the great guys and girl.

So yeah, here we are at the Anadine Coffee.

It's a really nice coffee shop.

A coffee place that does, that has bands and it smells good in there.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I look, I do like the smell of coffee.

After the show, we went back to the hotel, had a couple of nightcaps in my room.

I here, I found a red cooler.

I told you yesterday I had Walmart deliverable and so I'm feeling, when we stop at a truck stop,

I get a 12 pack of Modello, fill it up so I'm good to go.

Hopefully tonight's going to be good.

A little bit rainy out.

Not pouring, but it's a little bit rainy.

I don't know how the crowd's going to be.

Hopefully to be okay and hopefully we play well.

Mark, Capitan on guitar, Craig Beerhorst on guitar, Scotty Slam on drums,

your friend Michael Butler on bass, and he had to dig in a tow-bond lead vocal.

So I say Scotty Slam on drums.

I think so.

All right.

Electrofonic tonne, tonne, tonne, opening.

Tomorrow we go to Chicago, which is about an hour, a little over an hour, from here I think.

Dave Franco is going to give me a ride, I think, he said.

He's not coming to the show, but hopefully I'm going to hang out with him.

Friend of the show Dave Franco.

He's going to take me to a good restaurant or a good lunch play, so hopefully.

That's about it.

This is the update.

I will check in tomorrow.

Thanks for listening to these things.

Please give the donations coming.

You know the deal.

Without your donations, the show would die horrible.

Creature extends for death and the value of the value.

So if you get any value out of this, I appreciate it.

And help your unemployed brother out.

All right.

You keep him with ginger.

Say a prayer for him.

Say a prayer for my brother.

Who also has cancer and blah, blah, blah, blah, it sucks.

And one of the songs that I always, what used to go to from ginger wild heart when I'm feeling down,

is this one from a record called 555%, which was like one of the very first pledged music albums.

And he got 555% of what his goal was.

That's why he called it 555%.

And this song is great.

This is called Forget About It.

I'll talk to you tomorrow, friends.

If everything goes as planned.

It'll be Friday night in Chicago.

We're going to go to Rick Nielsen's pizza joint in Chicago.

It's called piece, pizza, piece brewery and pizza, something like that.

Maybe Rick Nielsen will be there.

I doubt it.

We're going to have his pizza anyway.

All right, friends.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

If you can make it to any of these shows, send me an email.

rockandrogeekajima.com or send me a message on the Facebook.

And I'll put you on the list.

All right.

I'd love to see you.

I love seeing friends of the rock and roll geek show.

It really does my heart good.

And they're all cool people.

So I love meeting more great people like you.

All right.

Enough of my yak.

And here's ginger wild heart.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

I've played heavy on my mind.

It's going to kill me one dream at a time or so.

It seems in my mind.

It seems in my mind.

Starts me falling into sleep.

I lie awake in the waves.

So dark and deep.

I pray my soul will keep.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

You play time.

The waves are right for days.

And when the moment sings it, it could stay.

I let my God away.

Then I'm easy brave.

I pray to God that there is a God.

I pray to a God that there is a God.

I pray to a God to pay for all I've taken.

Show amazing grace.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

To just forget about it.

Once again, you forget to remind yourself.

It's a rock-a-rock-eat train wreck.
